ASSEMBLY

Make sure that the power cord is unplugged. Assembly requires two persons. Set the treadmill in a cleared

area and remove all packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly iscompleted. Note:

The underside of the treadmill walking belt is coated with high-performance lubricant. During shipping, a small

amount of lubricant may be transferred to the top of the walking belt or the shipping carton. This is a normal con-

dition and does not affect treadmill performance. If there is lubricant on top of the walking belt, simply wipe off the

lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.

Assembly requires the included allen wrenches _ and your own phillips screwdriver (_]_======_

and wire cutters _ _

Use the drawings below to identify the assembly hardware. The number in parentheses below each drawing is

the key number of the part, from the PART LIST on pages 26 and 27. The number after the parentheses shows

the quantity needed for assembly. Note: If a part is not in the parts bag, check to see if it is preattached to one of

the parts to be assembled, if a part is missing, call toll-free 1-888-533-1333. To avoid damaging plastic

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

THE PRE=LUBRICATED WALKING BELT

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with high-

performance lubricant, iMPORTANT: Never apply sil-

icone spray or other substances to the walking

belt or the walking platform. Such substances will

deteriorate the walking belt and cause excessive

wear.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding

plug. Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor,

and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate

outlet that is properly installed and grounded in

accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Important: The treadmill is not compatible with

GFCl=equipped outlets.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,

and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-

trated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that

looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be

used to connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole

receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly

grounded outlet is not available.

Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated

electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by

sudden voltage changes in your home's power.

Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can

result from weather conditions or from other appliances

being turned on or off. To decrease the possibility of

your treadmill being damaged, always use a surge

suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at

the right). To purchase a surge suppressor, see

your local Sears store or call 1=800=366=7278 and

order part number 146148, or see your local elec=

tronics store.

Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is

UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge sup=

pressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a

UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less

and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules.

The surge suppressor must be electrically rated for

120 volts AC and 15 amps. There must be a moni=

toting light on the surge suppressor to indicate

whether it is functioning properly. Failure to use a

properly functioning surge suppressor could result

in damage to the control system of the treadmill, if

the control system is damaged, the walking belt

may change speed, accelerate, or stop unexpect=

edly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.

This product must be grounded. If itshould malfunc-

tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least

resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of elec-

tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having

The temporary adapter should be used only until a

properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed

by a qualified electrician.

The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending

from the adapter must be connected to a permanent

ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.

Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place

by a metal screw. Some 2=pole receptacle outlet box

covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified elec=

trician to determine if the outlet box cover is

grounded before using an adapter.
